For the three, he had never received a single dime despite being hits. The demand letter reads in part:

It is from the above foregoing that our client has instructed us to demand you Ksh Two Million (Ksh 2,000,000) as payment for his services, legal fees and damages.

Cautioning that if not followed, this would warrant legal redress in a court of law.

Take note that if the above demand is not met within 7 days, our client has given us mandatory instructions to pursue legal redress in a court of law without any further reference to you.

Owen responds

Responding to the same, the ‘Vanity’ hitmaker instead distanced himself from allegations fired towards him.

To be honest, I don’t understand all that is happening. I don’t want to comment on something I don’t know.

Daddy Owen

Speaking to Nairobi News, Daddy Owen said he had been locked in prayers and does not understand what is going on.

I have been in prayers which are very important to me and have just been told of the claims.

Responding:

I won’t rush to react to something that I don’t know how exactly I should react to.
